VoIP & Voice Applications | Metaswitch

Metaswitch delivers a broad range of telephony application server and switching products that meet the needs of service providers who are building out next-generation voice networks, modernizing legacy voice networks or deploying new voice applications. The Metaswitch product set is unique in the breadth of its capabilities, providing the full range of legacy CLASS services, across traditional or broadband access, with softswitch, application and media platforms. This complete combination not only provides service continuity as your network evolves, but helps accelerate the roll-out of new high-value services that continue to attract and retain subscribers.

Multimedia Telephony Application Server

From unified messaging to dynamic call control and advanced supplementary services, the MetaSphere MTAS platform is designed to support a broad array of voice and video applications. As a critical component in next generation network architectures, the multimedia telephony application server enables a complete suite of powerful business and residential communication tools. Standards-based protocols and open applications programming interfaces (APIs) enable this 3GPP-compliant IMS (IP multimedia subsystem) function to be exploited by independent software vendors, dramatically reducing cost and time-to-market when delivering innovative enhanced telephony services.

Media Gateway

Our highly scalable trunking media gateway (IMS-MGW) provides circuit to packet conversion while transitioning in-band TDM signaling to its IP counterpart. As carriers drive towards all-IP infrastructures, these media gateways provide a scalable and cost-effective way to leverage legacy circuit switch devices, protecting the huge investment large operators have made in this established technology. With independent H.248 / MGCP media gateway control, our solutions also meet the requirements of network infrastructures built on IMS core components.

Integrated Softswitch

The Integrated Softswitch offers a compact, self-contained solution for small to medium scale Class 4 or Class 5 switch replacement or for VoIP service delivery. Based on a combination of selected MetaSphere telephony applications running directly on processor blades in the Universal Media Gateway platform, the Integrated Softswitch is highly cost-effective and exceptionally simple to deploy.

With a portfolio of solutions that includes presence and availability management, an instant messaging server and an intelligent network address book, network operators can deploy mobile handset and desktop applications from any third-party software vendor that conforms to the Open Mobile Alliance Rich Communications Suite.

Where consolidation of these individual components is preferred, the Perimeta Integrated Session Controller combines both SSC and MSC elements within a single platform, without sacrificing performance or scalability.
A new class of session border controller is required: purpose-built to completely protect your network assets while independently scaling the signaling and media functions.

The SSR simplifies core SIP routing, untangling the mesh of static route table entries on the ever-growing number of endpoints which lack any discernable dynamic topology discovery mechanisms.
Now that SIP services are gaining a resounding foothold in NGN, the increasing number of endpoints, interconnects and sessions must be efficiently managed and effectively maintained.

In narrowband, broadband and wireless access infrastructures, the MTAS leverages the flexibility of SIP to enable a broad array of services, ranging from stand-alone residential or hosted business voice communications and messaging to complete multimedia telephony.
The MetaSphere MTAS resides within the applications layer of emerging next generation networks that are transitioning to all-IP 3GPP LTE, ETSI/TISPAN or PacketCable 2.0 IMS cores.
